Natural Spontaneity
Uranus and the Sun met at 18° of Taurus yesterday.
This degree of Taurus correlates with Gene Key 23, which has a Shadow of Complexity, a Gift of Simplicity, and a Siddhi of Quintessence. Its all about being able to distill an insight into a concise and deliverable form. That may mean that we have to resort to different modes of communication, such as any medium of artistic expression. We are the sole translator of this encoded message that comes from this conjunction of the Sun and Taurus.
The word that I chose is ‘distill’ because it means “to let fall in drops”. I often struggle with knowing how much information is too much information when it comes to Astrology. I want to include all of the jargon so that people feel some level of trust with me, but that often times will leave non-Astrologers more confused than empowered. Digging a layer deeper into that desire to be trusted is a desire to be liked. In an effort to be of value to the community, I‘ve become blind to the acutal needs of the community. They don’t need me to prove my worth, they want the message of the stars translated into something they can understand.
This is why humans tell stories: they are relatable. So, my story for the Sun-Uranus Conjunction is that I missed my exit twice yesterday! On my way to work I was due to arrive early, but I missed the exit that takes me to the North/South Highway. I ended up driving East all the way to the water before I realized I was no longer on my way to work. I managed to make it to clock-in three minutes after my scheduled shift began. My manager seemed to not be too upset when I told him what happened.
Later in the day when I left work, I tried to pick up some mulch. I say ‘tried’ because this facility sells mulch in bulk and you have to have a pick-up truck to carry it out. In other words, they don’t bag the mulch. “What are you gonna put it in?” The woman asked me, as she stood towering over me from the metal stairs that are at eye level for a truck. She knew. She knew I didn’t know. I also knew, so I made it very clear that I knew I was an idiot for not asking what I would need to pick up the mulch. This failed attempt came a day after I was not able to pick up the mulch due to a torrential thunderstorm that randomly passed through (because Florida).
Back to yesterday and missing exits. When I left the big ass piece of property owned in-part by the mulching facility, I put on my GPS before I turned out onto the main road. I continued to laugh at myself for being that girl that showed up in a Mazda 3 to pick up scraps of trees. All of a sudden, I looked down at my GPS and it said I would be home in 40 minutes. It felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. How could it be that with no wrecks in my way, I would be 40 minutes from home when I work 23 minutes from home and I never turned around? Well, it turns out I missed another exit. In fact it was the last exit in the State of Florida. Once you get into Alabama, there is not an exit for 20 miles. Can you believe that? No way to turn around and no gas stations for 20 miles. These are the kinds of things that make me panic a little. That and heavy rain while I’m driving. Fortunately, I had put on a podcast that still had an hour left so I just took it as an opportunity.
Now, the trick in Astrology is to take those three scenarios from the day the transit went exact. Maybe sometimes you don’t have such an eventful day. You still can glean something from your journal entry that describes how you are feeling instead of what you did. Once you can discern your patterns from the Astrological ones, you will understand why its helpful to know the Astrology. Without Astrology, I could not so easily find a through-line in my stories above. With a Sun-Uranus conjunction co-present with Mercury Retrograde and the North Node of the Moon in Taurus, I can see there is a message here for me around missing exits and that being okay. I have everything I need I just have to sort through all of it and I also have to accept it as it is.
There’s more I could say but I leave it there. This is the distilled message. A pattern in my stories that is a pattern I interact with based on patterns in my environment and the Heavens. My story patterns: I missed exits, I felt stupid briefly the first time and the second but the third time I accepted the fate, things worked out fine, even better because I didn’t try to have control over things that I couldn’t. The distilled message is not nearly as creative or beautiful. But its important because it is shared. It would be great if everyone just knew Astrology. Then again, it would be great if we could just know a lot of things, particularly other languages.
